Yves Saint Laurent Libre Collector Edition 2021 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Carlos Benaïm and Anne Flipo. Libre Collector Edition 2021 opens with Mandarin, Petitgrain, Lavender, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Vanilla, and Ambergris. Yves Saint Laurent's Libre Collector Edition 2021 carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; while some adore its bold take on lavender, others find it a touch overwhelming. It's a statement scent, but maybe not for those who dislike being the centre of attention.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

The strong aromatic and white floral accords, coupled with its bold sillage, make it a bit much for a conservative office environment. It really shines in evening or social settings where its confident character can make an impression.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Libre Collector Edition 2021 opens with a punchy blend of fresh lavender and juicy blackcurrant, brightened by a zesty mandarin and petitgrain. The heart unfolds into a rich tapestry of jasmine and radiant orange blossom, adding a creamy, sun-drenched floral core. The dry down is a warm, lingering embrace of soft musk, earthy cedar, a hint of ambergris, and sweet vanilla, grounding the energetic top notes with a sophisticated depth.
